as the last lines of the list! I don't want them. Any ideas on why they might be showing up?
# nano /var/cache/edb/world
Remove the lines containing simgear and flightgear from that file. That's
all. :)
The problem is... I don't have any lines on that file that mention simgear or flightgear.
I'm having the same problem with a number of Gnome-related packages. I had Gnome installed, but I uninstalled it to save some disk space; I just want to keep enough to be able to run Gnome-based programs. When I include -d when I do emerge world, a number of these packages always show up (can't check precisely which ones at the moment).
I have unmerged them, they are not in /var/cache/edb/world, but they still show up. To circumvent the problem I don't use -d, but that's far from a real solution.
That sounds all to familiar. After I switched from Gnome to fluxbox, it took me about 2 months to finally get gnome-related packages to stop showing up. One thing I recommend is to use 'qpkg -q -nc pkgname-ver' where pkgname-ver is the specific package name and version that portage wants to install when you do 'emerge -uDpv world'. Try recompiling those packages with USE=-gnome to diable the gnome support in them.
